Sonax Brilliant Shine
#3
Sonax Brilliant Shine is my current go-to instant detailing spray. It has the most gloss of any instant detailing spray I've used, and looks noticeably better on my cars than CG Hybrid V7.

I also enjoy SBSD. Consider trying it on top of Sonax Polymer Net Shield. Both bead water like crazy!

Wow 3 weeks and still going strong?? That is crazy for a quick detailer!
I never expect any quick detailer to last more than 1 week. I only use them to temporarily boost up the shine and slickness as drying aid and never expect any durability. If they last 3 weeks +, shouldn't they call it spray sealant/wax instead of quick detailer??

It is a quick detailer / spray sealant... call it what you want.

Both great... I prefer reload, but you can't go wrong with either.
Here are some pros and cons..
Reload - amazingly slick feeling (which is what I love about it!), but pricey. Very durable for a spray sealant - 4+ months of good protection. Can be a little finicky to use (can streak on darker vehicles if over applied).
SBSD - not as slick, but priced very well. Not as durable.
Both - look great and bead insanely well.
FWIW, I dilute my Reload 2:1 with distilled water (waterroduct). This does reduce durability, but it makes the product a much better value, and the slickness and gloss is still amazing. Since I use it fairly regularly (monthly) and on top of my coated vehicles, durability is not a concern of mine.
Let me know if you've got any more questions

Thanks for the reply Zach (spelled it right this time). I'm having Ivan from Lustr do a 2 step and finest coat in about a month. Just wanted your input. He did advise the same about reload, and it's finickiness if you over use it. Having obsidian black, i'd want it as glossy and slick as possible.

Regarding Reload, I have just recently tried it out. Per Zach suggestion, I used 1 towel to apply, and 1 towel to buff. One panel like the fender would take about 2 sprays and a little go a long way. I have successfully applied it without any streaking nor high spot issue. I applied it on top of CG EZ Creme Glaze and my car paint now is super shinny and slick.
